Smoking Hot

Are your lungs
as you light their way
down a carcinogen lit path
to the revolving door of the
city morgue

And I feel bad

I really do

About constantly reminding you
in quiet comments and angry rants

But sometimes I feel if I had
put out a torch or
jammed the door

I might have you a little
longer

I might see you
a little more

I might know you
a little better

far beyond my own sadness
failed attempts
ashy wishes

beyond reality
heaped in piles
at your feet.
